Hi, Is there a kind person who could take a photo of a grave for me please, the grave number is 2946 and should be in 'K' section but might be in 'L' section according to the map.
The grave has five people in it and the last name is BAXTER.
Any of the below names may be on the head stone.

Thanking you.

It can screw your head in trying to figure out if I am emailing you on Friday whilst I am still having my Thursday. My emails are travelling into the future, I didn't realise I was that clever.

Anyway, mission accomplished, photos sent, although possibly not the result you were hoping for, but location found (2946).

Hi, David. What relationship are the Baxters to you?

dfk · 28-03-2014, 01:30

Thanks Dave for the photos, even though there is no head stone the pictures show the grave site very well, I can now put them with my other records.
And also the other grave photo just behind showing the name Baxter is also family of mine.
Louisa Baxter (nee Gregory) was the wife of a Joseph Harrison Baxter.
And James Baxter who died 1987 as on the grave stone was Louisa's son and he was born 14 April 1925.
Joseph H Baxter was the brother of my grand mother Ella Victoria Kearns (nee Baxter) and Richard Baxter who is in the first unmarked grave was there father (my Great Grandfather), what a mouth full, hopes this helps a little.
So a big thank you for that picture as I wasn't expecting it.
Hope you had an enjoyable day out and once again thank you.
Should I ever be able to return the favour from this side of the world you only need ask.
Kind regards

richard and may baxter.jpgHi Michael1954
Hope the last post helps a little with how I am related to the Baxters, I have a few things about them in my Ancestry tree and I can put up a pic of two people who are in the unmarked grave.
The picture is of Richard Baxter and May Baxter (nee Birchenough) on there wedding day on the 31st of December 1898 and they married at All Saints Church in Clayton Le Moors.
If any one else has any family history info etc to share please just say, I would love to find more.

David Kearns.

My great grandmother was Lucy Baxter (Married Henry Cowburn at St. Bartholomew's, Gt Harwood 1857** who I believe was Richard Baxter's aunt.

Hi Lost in Cornwall, yes I can confirm that we have the same Richard Baxter, I have Lucy Baxter marriage to Henry Cowburn in Great Harwood on the 1st Jan 1857.
Lucy's brother Joseph was Richard Baxter's father.

I'm not sure what cousin and how many times removed that makes us but we're obviously part of the same family.
